Connecting to the WebDav folder to customize Process Portal spaces
You can use web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) to make and deploy custom theme changes to pages in Process Portal spaces. WebDAV provides a network protocol for creating interoperable, collaborative applications.
Various third-party clients are available that support the WebDAV protocol. Ensure that you have a WebDAV client installed; other clients might not work in your environment. For more information about the recommended clients and the versions that are supported, see the 
detailed system requirements for IBM BPM Advanced.
Because WebDAV works over HTTP, you get all the benefits of HTTP that FTP cannot provide, such as strong authentication, encryption, proxy support, and caching.
Procedure
Regardless of the WebDav client that you use, ensure that you configure the client to use the HTTP/SSL protocol. In addition, include the following information in the configuration settings.
- The host name of the IBM BPM server that hosts the Process Portal spaces.
- The SSL port of the IBM BPM server, for example, 9443.
- The administrator user name and password that were used during profile creation.
- The path to be used for the WebDav folder: /mum/mycontenthandler/mm/dav/filestore
